Hair loss is a common concern, affecting both men and women. Here's a quick guide to understanding and dealing with it:
Types of hair loss:

• Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness): This is the most common cause, with hereditary factors playing a role. It presents as a receding hairline in men and hair thinning on the scalp in women.
• Alopecia Areata: This is an autoimmune disease that causes patchy hair loss.
• Telogen Effluvium: This temporary hair loss can be triggered by stress, illness, childbirth, or dietary changes.

Causes of Hair Loss:

• Genetics
• Hormonal changes (e.g., menopause, thyroid issues)
• Medical conditions (e.g., alopecia areata)
• Stress
• Nutrient deficiencies (e.g., iron, protein)
• Certain hairstyles (e.g., tight braids)
• Medications

Treatment Options:

• Medications: Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a common over-the-counter option that stimulates hair growth. Finasteride is a prescription medication used for male-pattern baldness.
• Surgery: Hair transplant surgery involves transplanting hair follicles from a donor area to a bald spot.
• Lifestyle Changes: Eating a healthy diet, managing stress, and avoiding tight hairstyles can promote hair health.
